## Description

The Pacific is an epic 10-part miniseries that delivers a realistic portrait of WWII's Pacific Theatre as seen through the intertwined odysseys of three U.S. Marines - Robert Leckie, John Basilone and Eugene Sledge. The extraordinary experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first clash with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, through the impenetrable rain firests of Cape Gloucester, across the blasted coral strongholds of Peleliu, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, through the killing fields of Okinawa, to the triumphant, yet uneasy, return home after V-J Day. The viewer will be immersed in combat through the intimate perspective of this diverse, relatable group of men pushed to the limit in battle both physically and psychologically against a relentless enemy unlike any encountered before.

Review: A must have for History and War buffs. Great series - This was a great series about a group of guys as they fought their way through the Pacific War. It is well done and a very realistic representation of the realities of war. You can not beat Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg when it comes to making movies. If you are a fan of history, you will love this series. It is a ten-part series and will hold your interest all the way through. Well worth the price.
Review: "Little did we realize that hell was an ocean away..." (Spoilers) - For the past fifty years, the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II has never been given the "definitive" treatment. Now, there have been some very good movies made about the events of the Pacific War ("Letters from Iwo Jima" and the underrated "The Great Raid" are two very fine films), but none (save for maybe "The Great Raid") have really captured the full brutality, realism and heroism that shaped the war in the Pacific. But all that finally changes with "The Pacific," the ten-part miniseries from executive producers Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman, the men who brought us the award-winning "Band of Brothers," the definitive look at combat in Europe. Whereas the European and Pacific wars were vastly different entities unto themselves, the producers chose to take a different approach to "The Pacific" than was taken with "Band of Brothers." While the previous miniseries focused on the camaraderie that forms between men during war, this one focuses on the brutality of war, and how it affects the individual. It focuses on three Marines: Eugene Sledge, Robert Leckie and "Manila John" Basilone, and their actions in battles at places named Guadalcanal, New Britain, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and how the war changed their lives forever. Does the new miniseries achieve the same power and gravitas that its sister miniseries did? It does come very close. The only thing that keeps it from becoming a perfect companion to "Band of Brothers" is the first four episodes of the series. Although very good, there are a few minor problems with them. Unlike the previous miniseries, which gave us a chance to get to know the men before throwing them into battle, we are briefly introduced to the characters before quickly being thrown into the conflict. So there really isn't a lot of emotional connection with the characters at first. Also, episode three of the program, a look at the 1st Marine Division's time in Australia during R&R after Guadalcanal, provides the series' real weak point. Although a pretty good episode, was there really need for an entire hour devoted to the break between battles? However, things take a turn for the excellent with episode five, the beginning of a three-episode arc about the Battle of Peleliu, a battle unfamiliar to those who have not read either Sledge's or Leckie's memoirs, or frequent the History Channel. It is hear that the show finally achieves the quality of "Band of Brothers." The battle scenes go from great to fantastic, bringing us into the hell of the battle, and the challenges those men faced. Episode Eight of the series, one of the more mixed-reviewed episodes, is actually a well-written and performed episode that looks at the relationship between Basilone and Lena Riggi, the woman whom he marries before shipping out to Iwo Jima. While some people complained at the fact they focused on the love story, what sets this one apart from films such as "Pearl Harbor" or "From Here to Eternity" is that the love story isn't a flight of fancy; it actually happened. And as Tom Hanks said in an interview, "it's damned good drama," and really helps us to feel an emotional connection with Basilone as he leaves the love of his life to return to the war effort, and his fate at the Battle of Iwo Jima. The penultimate episode of the series, Episode Nine, looks at the battle of Okinawa, and proves to be the series' best. Of the twenty episodes made of "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific," this is by far the most harrowing, graphic, and emotionally-draining episode, throwing us into a hell we could scarcely imagine. The final episode of the series shows the men return home, and the challenges they faced while readjusting to civilian life after the horrors they faced on the islands of the Pacific, and provides a powerful sendoff to this incredible series. As a whole, "The Pacific" is the definitive look at combat in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It shows the absolute horror that these men faced fighting an enemy that they didn't understand, on islands never heard of before. Most important of all, you get a real sense of the brutality of that war, and the sacrifices these men made upon the altar of freedom. "The Pacific" is a near-perfect companion piece to "Band of Brothers," and one that will change the way one sees how that war was fought, and its impact on the participants! Program/Blu-ray Grade: A
